SOIRÉE D’OR A ISTANBUL

Soirée d’Or à Istanbul est une bougie parfumée en édition limitée, inspirée de la chaleur vibrante de l’Orient et de l’atmosphère envoûtante des soirées stambouliotes.

Une création intense et sensuelle, où les épices, les bois sombres et la vanille composent une ambiance profonde et enveloppante.

« Le soleil se couche sur Istanbul, et curieusement, les senteurs semblent plus prégnantes.

We are now wandering the aisles of Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, a vibrant labyrinth where every stall is an invitation to travel. The air is warm, saturated with the spicy scent of cinnamon. Deep, bewitching patchouli seems to waft from the fabrics of other lands, while black amber floats like a promise of mystery. A sweet, oily scent of vanilla also wafts in from a shop...

Ici, chaque effluves, chaque souffle dévoile un fragment d’Orient ! »

CINNAMON - PATCHOULI - BLACK AMBER - VANILLA

Each of our HAROLD & MAUDE candles is made from natural 100% waxes. No mineral wax, so no paraffin derived from petroleum. The fragrances we use are all guaranteed free of CMR substances and phthalates.

The first time you use a HAROLD & MAUDE candle, after cutting the wick (about 5 mm), let it burn until the entire surface has become liquid! Because of the size of the candle, this may take about 4 hours (allow for this). This step will prevent the wax from hollowing out and forming a permanent crater around the wick.

It may happen that the wax does not melt completely around one edge of your candle (our candles are poured and the wicks placed one by one, by hand, and are therefore never centred to the millimetre). In this case, just before extinguishing the candle, gently use the tip of a knife to lift and slide this little crescent of soft wax into the liquid wax.

Use your HAROLD & MAUDE candle with care! After firing, each of the ceramic pots has been given a matt, unglazed top coat. This beautiful velvety finish may be susceptible to small scratches if handled incorrectly. 

For rooms larger than 40m2, we recommend you burn 2 candles of the same fragrance, well apart from each other, for better fragrance diffusion.

Before each lighting, cut the wick so that it does not exceed 5 millimetres. Use a special candle wick cutter to avoid scratching the ceramic. 

Use a snuffer to extinguish it, to avoid black smoke and the wick drowning. If necessary, gently re-centre the wick with the side of your wick cutter or the tip of a knife while the wax is still soft.

Place your HAROLD & MAUDE candle on a flat surface and do not leave it unattended. Avoid draughts.
